Chairperson (Sardar Ali Amin Gandapur) Message

        It is an honor to serve as Chairperson of the Board of Governors for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Centre of Excellence on Countering Violent Extremism (KPCVE). Over the past two years, the Centre has emerged as a leading institution in our shared mission to combat violent extremism, terrorism, and radicalization. Through rigorous research, strategic planning, and fostering collaboration among governmental and non-governmental partners, the Centre has strengthened Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s capacity to address these critical challenges. By developing effective protocols for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of vital data, the KPCVE has enhanced our ability to prevent and respond to extremist activities. The Centre’s commitment to capacity building has been equally commendable. Training programs, workshops, and seminars have empowered institutions across the province, enabling them to take informed and effective actions against terrorism and extremism. The KPCVE has also prioritized working closely with religious scholars, media organizations, and international stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causes of violent extremism. This collaborative approach has informed context-sensitive interventions that address the root causes of radicalization. As we continue to tackle the multifaceted challenges of extremism and violence, I extend my deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff of the Centre for their relentless efforts. Their contributions have made Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a safer and more resilient place for all its citizens. Moving forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering peace and security in the region. The work of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Centre of Excellence on Countering Violent Extremism symbolizes hope, resilience, and progress in the fight against violent extremism. Together, we will continue to build a future of peace, security, and unity.
